How It Works

Once you've setup your location(s) and within those locations, setup bathrooms, you can generate a BanoMonitor poster to post in each of your bathroom stalls.

When someone needs more TP, they scan the QR code with their phone and they are taken to a specially crafted URL that cooresponds with the location, bathroom, and optionally, the exact stall they are in. The configured notifiers will receive a message. Once TP has been delivered, the request should be marked as fulfilled.

The person that made the request will see on the screen that the request is fulfilled.

Let’s be honest, your bathrooms are a 💩show and your customers, members and employees know it. If you’re a membership club and you’re relying on your members to clean up, you’re kidding yourselves.

Let’s be honest, many people, including your members do not take the time to clean their bathrooms deeply and if they don't it certainly isn't consistently; a sign in the bathroom appealing to their guilt will not cause any significant change.

Let's be honest, your restrooms are filthy at least 75% of the time.

All bathrooms monitored by BañoMonitor

Our Process

  • We keep your bathrooms clean by texting our number
  • If you're out of toilet paper, text a specific code
  • We clean your bathrooms several times per day because your staff doesn't want to do it

Let's be honest, a more thorough cleansing throughout the day is needed. It only takes one person to messy up the bathroom to the point where it's messy for the rest of the day, because, the next person doesn't want to clean up after the previous person. You might have poo stuck on the seat and the next person (especially if it's a kid) is likely to just plot their butt right on that dirty toilet. Most people don't use the paper because it's difficult to deal with and it doesn't cover everything anyway. It's kind of a waste of paper even the best case scenario.

The walls have boogers on them. The floors look like they haven't been swept in weeks, even though they may have been swept fairly recently ... or not.

There is dust on your baseboards, dust near the sinks. The paint on the walls is way overdue and your 1938 wall paper is kinda starting to peel.

Our Standard

  • Floors
  • Doors, door knobs and walls (we will spot paint)
  • Vents
  • Toilets (shit on back, sides, etc)
  • Sinks & showers Replace Shower heads (lead, metals, etc) and clean hair from drains and remove hard water stains
  • Clean debris from floor mats & replace worn mats
  • Check and replace lightbulbs
  • Check for mold
  • Tissue, toilet paper and paper towels (it’s annoying when you run low)
  • Temperature checks (leave the cold showers to ...)
